Phoenix Wright holds court in a symphony hall — objection never sounded this majestic.
Starting out as a comedic courtroom adventure, the DS game Gyakuten Saiban attracted vast amounts of fans with its fun system, intriguing plot, enchanting characters and wonderful BGM tracks. To praise the game's excellent music, a classical orchestral performance was arranged in April for all fans to come together and enjoy. For those who unfortunately missed the event, you can take part in it, although belatedly, through the DVD recording of the concert. Through the DVD view menu, watch the game's images that were projected onto the large screen during the performance.

Shu Takumi's presence as audience member rather than performer reflects Japan's treatment of game directors as celebrity auteurs — imagine Miyamoto waving from a theatre box.
